I got into Athens safe and sound yesterday afternoon. Today has mostly been getting all my stuff together — unpacking, going grocery shopping, setting up my computer at work, etc. The place I’m staying is beautiful, about an hour outside of the city — but in the middle of nowhere. Literally. There’s a church, a bakery, a taverna, and the beach across the street, and that’s it. Even the grocery store is twenty minutes away by car. But it’s pretty and there’s a bus into Athens every hour, so it’s not so bad. And I’m perfectly happy sitting at the beach with my book in the evenings. I’ll post pictures tomorrow, and will return to regularly blogging soon — if not in a few minutes, when I get bored.
